The Ninth Circle of Eryx: Book 1 The witch born boy

He wasn't supposed to exist.In a world ruled by covens and sacred bloodlines, males are forbidden from practicing witchcraft. But when a boy named Eryx Corven is discovered alone in the ruins of a cursed coven—marked by nine black stars spiraling across his chest—the ancient laws begin to fracture.Accepted into the hidden academy of Nocturna Arcanum under a veil of secrecy, Eryx quickly realizes this school is no sanctuary. It’s a labyrinth of arcane trials, whispered prophecies, and deadly rivalries where magic is bound by blood, betrayal, and bone.But Eryx is more than a mistake. He is a spell born into flesh.And the stars on his skin are not a curse.They are a summoning.Dark forces are watching. Old gods are stirring.And somewhere in the shadows of the academy,the Ninth Circle waits to be opened.
